layer
One horizontal tier
A layer is a single thickness of something spread over or under another surface: a layer of dust, layers of paint.
Things arranged in layers stack horizontally—geological strata, cake tiers, clothing worn for warmth.
To layer is to arrange in this fashion.
In computing and design, layers are stacked planes that can be edited independently.
A layer is also a hen that produces eggs.
